Facebook for iOS and iPad: Social Networking

Facebook is a social networking app from Meta Platforms, Inc. for iOS and iPad. It brings together personal updates, conversations, interest-based groups, short videos and Marketplace browsing, so you can keep up with people and explore topics in one place. Installation is free.

What you can do with Facebook

• Keep up with people: follow friends’ posts and creators, share updates, and send posts or Reels privately in messages.
• Explore interests: join groups to exchange tips, browse Marketplace for items, and use search to find topics and interactive results.
• Personalise your Feed: adjust what you see to get more of the content you like and less of what you do not.
• Create and watch video: explore Reels, make them with templates or editing tools, and share moments in Stories.
• Make posts your own: customise your profile and use generative AI features to create images and stickers. Meta AI can also answer questions.

Who might find it useful?

Facebook may suit people who want to follow friends and creators, take part in communities around their interests, or share photos, videos and updates. For example, you could check a group for hobby advice, browse Marketplace for an item, then send a relevant Reel to a friend—all from the same app.
